Any Other Girl
Nu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You cannot run
You cannot hide
Everything they tell you is messing up your mind
They don't give up and i don't give in
Boys are made for pleasure
And girls are made for sin

Excuses all around

They try to get cha down saying

Come on baby show it
Come on baby show it
Come in and meet the boys
Get down and see the toys
But i don't want to feel like
I don't want to feel like
Any other girl
Any other girl

You betta look good
You got to have height
All they do is drink and talk about the fight
Dancing is cute and kissing is fun
But love is just a waste
And my game has just begun

Excuses all around
They try to get cha down saying

Come on baby show it
Come on baby show it
Come in and meet the boys
Get down and see the toys
But i don't want to feel like
I don't want to feel like
Any other girl
Any other girl

Come on baby show it
Come on baby show it
Come in and meet the boys
Get down and see the toys
But i don't want to feel like
I don't want to feel like
Any other girl
Any other girl

Come on baby show it
Come in and meet the boys
But i don't want to feel like
Any other girl
Any other girl

Come on baby show it
Come on baby show it
Come in and meet the boys
Get down and see the toys
But i don't want to feel like
I don't want to feel like
Any other girl
Any other girl

Na na na na na

Any other girl
Na na na na na

The singer then goes on to reject the notion that love is a waste and asserts her own agency in the situation, implying that she is not just a passive object to be toyed with. The repeated lyrics of "Come on baby show it" serve to emphasize the societal pressure to conform and perform for others. The song as a whole can be seen as a call to resist these societal pressures and embrace one's own individuality and worth.
